Car prices have accelerated in recent months with the average new car transactions nearly 30% higher than the same month three years ago at the time of the pandemic shutdown. What we are seeing that is new for this quarter is that average transactions have fell below sticker price in nearly 2 years, and manufacturer incentives have been increased.
Why is that after car prices increased, sales prices are a bit more negotiable combined with soaring gasoline prices and interest rates, this is making car ownership more onerous and putting the brakes on auto sales. That may mean that dealers are a bit more flexible as vehicles return to the lots
In the last several years, car shoppers grew accustomed to paying more than MSRP, or the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. They watched car prices rise steadily, with no end in sight. It left many shoppers scratching their heads, and the question our experts get most is, “When will new car prices drop?” So drivers looked at used cars and that increased those prices too.
While finding a low price on a new car is possible, it just may not be the car you thought you would buy. Or you may need to head to a smaller town outside of the big city where the competition isn’t as tough.
